Abstract: A computing device can store a class diagram of an application in a storage medium. A new model element type is applied to class operations in the class diagram and to a resource new model element type to data classes by defining properties, which include at least a resource name property, for each new model element. Flow diagrams of the application are applied to as many new model element types as different types of actions exist in the flow diagrams. The actions represent the operations on resources.

Abstract: Techniques for committing data objects to be immutable are described herein. According to one embodiment, in response to a request received through an interface of a storage system, the request being associated with a data object stored in the storage system, it is determined whether the data object should be committed to be immutable. The data object is committed to be immutable if it is determined that the data object should be committed to be immutable. Thereafter, an action associated with the request is performed, where the action is performed dependent upon whether the data object is immutable. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.

Abstract: A view of a data cube is produced, including a set of data entities available from the data cube. Information is presented, as metadata associated with the data cube, to guide a selection of a subset of data entities. A selection of a subset is received. A sub-query is constructed, configured according to a configuration standard adopted in the data cube, and to extract a set of records containing the selected subset of data entities. Using the sub-query on the data cube, the set of records is extracted as an intermediate set that conforms to the configuration standard. The intermediate set is normalized with a second intermediate set extracted from a second data cube using a second sub-query and conforming to a second configuration standard. The normalizing results in a normalized result set. The query is executed on the normalized result set to produce an answer to the query.

Abstract: A data-processing system facilitates processing a data stream to assist other devices to pre-fetch elements of the data stream, out-of-sequence, for uninterrupted playback. During operation, the system can receive a data file, and segments the data file into a sequence of content objects. The system then determines a target content object that is to be processed out-of-sequence, and a corresponding source content object. The system then inserts a reference to the target content object, into the source content object, and stores the sequence of content objects. A client device can disseminate interest to obtain the data stream's content objects. Upon receiving a content object, the client device can determine whether the content object includes a reference to other content objects. If so, the client device can disseminate interests for these referenced content objects.

Abstract: A semantic query over an RDF database is received with RDF database statistics and access methods for evaluating triple patterns in the query. The semantic query is expressed as a parse tree containing triple patterns and logical relationships among the triple patterns. The parse tree and access methods create a data flow graph containing a plurality of triple pattern and access method pair nodes connected by a plurality of edges, and an optimal flow tree through the data flow graph is determined such that costs are minimized and all triple patterns in the semantic query are contained in the optimal flow tree. A structure independent execution tree defining a sequence of evaluation through the optimal flow tree is created and is transformed into a database structure dependent query plan. This is used to create an SQL query that is used to evaluate the semantic query over the RDF database.

Abstract: Documents written using a markup language such as XML may be decomposed into Path and Parent Associated Node (PPAN) elements, each of which is a linear data structure that includes the content of a node, the parent-child relationship of the node, and the path level of the node. A number of PPAN elements may be grouped together to form A PPAN chain. A PPAN matching process uses the PPAN elements/PPAN chain to search for structured documents that match the PPAN chain. The PPAN matching process is able to perform query and match at the same time to accelerate the PPAN matching process, and also enables complex services to be represented by generic structured documents. Optionally, the PPAN matching process may support wildcard requests so that services may be discovered without prior knowledge of the services.

The first and second devices are distinct from each other, and the first and second serialization formats are distinct from each other.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for performing transactions on data entities in a database and a transactional database. The database comprises an ordered set of data stores with at least one static data store, wherein said static data store uses an index structure based on a non-updatable representation of an ordered set of integers according to the principle of compressed inverted indices. The method allows to generate a modifiable data store when the performed transaction comprises an insert, update or delete operation, to execute operations of the transaction on the ordered set being present at the time when the transaction has been started and, if present, on the modifiable data store and to convert data stores to a new static data store, The insert, update or delete operation are executed on the modifiable data store which is the only data store modifiable for the transaction.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for improving the speed and accuracy of analytics on big data using theta sketches, by converting fixed-size sketches to theta sketches, and by performing set operations on sketches. In a technique for performing a set operation, two sketches are analyzed to identify the maximum value of each sketch. The maximum values of the two sketches are compared. Based the comparison, one or more values are removed from the sketch whose maximum value is greater. After the removal, a set operation (e.g., union, intersection, or difference) is performed based on the modified sketch and the unmodified sketch. A result of the set operation is a third sketch, which may be used to estimate a cardinality of the larger data sets that are represented by the two input sketches.

To do so, the decoded link is used to glean relevant search terms, which are used to search an app distribution site for the first mobile operating system. The search results are displayed to the user.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating a “dimensional zonemap” that allows a database server to avoid scanning disk blocks of a fact table based on filter predicates in a query that qualify one or more dimension tables. The zonemap divides the fact table into sets of contiguous disk blocks referred to as “zones”.

For a query that contains a filter predicate on a zoned column, the predicate value can be compared to the minimum value and maximum value maintained for a zone for that zoned column to determine whether a scan of the disk blocks of the zone can be skipped.
